Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon-filled explanations. Patricia draws from several ways of working depending on the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking and try new behaviors.
Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences shape present choices. Client-centered work keeps the therapy focused on each person's goals. Many people seek her help for anger and for the ripple effects it can have at work and home.
She also supports people coping with grief, mood shifts, obsessive thoughts, relationship endings, and workplace stress. Therapy sessions are used to develop better coping, clearer priorities, and healthier routines. Patricia aims to make beginning therapy simple.
She offers phone, video, chat, and text-based sessions so people can choose what fits their life. Her style is calm, direct, and focused on helping people take actionable steps forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's goals, which can help someone feel heard and more confident in making changes.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when it helps to understand patterns that repeat over time. That approach looks at how past experiences influence current reactions and can open pathways to different choices in relationships and mood management.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. This means methods can shift over time based on what is most useful for the person's situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what works for their schedule and energy level. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions.
